Tasty Baked Recipes

I love to bake! Usually it's something sweet and crazy with carbs - which is not conducive to managing your figure or overall health. (I admit I'm a bit of a dessert addict.) So to cure my craving for baking, I've collected a few tasty baked recipes that don't all include the words "cookie" or "cake" in the title.

If you love to bake and want to try some yummy new recipes, that are also perfect for the warm spring weather, I think you'll enjoy these! If not, head over to our main site to dig through our recipe gold mine for more baked goodness!

Baked Bites You Can Back!

With the holidays looming and most of us doing at least some baking and entertaining, it's easy to get overwhelmed in the kitchen. Before you know it, it's 5:00 PM and little people are running in yelling "I'm hungry!" and "What's for dinner?" at random intervals.

I propose a solution. Keep your head cool and your oven warm. Pull out those casserole dishes and baking implements and bake your dinner. Baking something warm and hearty for dinner insures the family gets fed and you don't get overfed with holiday kitchen worries.

Hearty Baked Dishes for Winter

Welcome to Winter 2012!  If it's as chilly at your house outside as it is at mine, you could use some hearty recipes to prepare for your family, to keep everyone warm and toasty!  Below are three recipes with a "baked" theme to tie them all together just for you.

Baked Barbecue Beef Short Ribs

Ribs are always a huge hit around my house, and the three guys living here (hubby & two sons) will be drooling and thanking me before it hits the table.  What's your family's favorite beef dish?  Ribs, Roast, or other relished parts?

Baked Barbecued Pork Chops

And while we are on the subject of barbecued, let's not forget pork, the other white meat!  Although not as popular with some people, I find pork chops to be very easy to prepare and hard to mess up: thus, they have become a favorite at my house.

Baked Chicken

Last, but certainly not least and my personal favorite, Baked Chicken is on the menu this week!  Chicken is simple to prepare, easy to accent, and pleases most people since you can add spices to give it a zing or leave it a bit more plain for blander palettes.

Enjoy Winter!  And  as always, we love feedback and photos of your results!
